# Connect Your TikTok Account

Connect your TikTok Business account to dibales.ai so comments and DMs can be answered automatically.

TikTok automations only work once your TikTok account is connected to dibales.ai. You only need to do this once per agent.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Automations only work with a **TikTok Business account**. Still on a personal account? See [how to switch to a Business account](#how-to-switch-to-a-business-account) below.
{% endhint %}

## Connecting your account

1. In the sidebar, choose the **TikTok** tab above the menu, then click **Account Connection**. On a phone, open the menu first with the icon at the top left.
2. Click **Connect**. A tiktok.com page opens. Log in with the TikTok account you want to connect.
3. TikTok shows an access request from **Pake AI - TikTok**, dibales.ai's official app. Make sure the account name on the left is the account you want to connect. If it isn't, click **Switch account**.

   - **(A)** Leave all permissions on. Without permission to read comments and send messages, automations can't reply.
   - **(B)** Click **Continue**.

4. You're taken back to dibales.ai, and your TikTok account is connected.

## After connecting

1. The **Connection Status** changes to **Connected**, along with your account's username. If the status is **Paused** and a **Personal Account** warning appears, your account isn't a Business account yet.
2. **Refresh**: refreshes the connection and checks the account type again. Click it after your account switches to a Business account, or if automations suddenly stop replying.
3. **Disconnect**: removes the TikTok account from this agent. You'll be asked to confirm first.

## How to switch to a Business account

You switch in the TikTok app, not in dibales.ai. Open your **Profile**, tap the **☰** menu at the top right, then choose **Settings and privacy** › **Account** › **Business verification**.

Then fill in your business details. The example below is for a business registered in Indonesia. The fields and accepted documents depend on your country.

![Business details for Business account verification](/assets/QMkU9aJWg8JX1S8zVlJq-1-2-1.png)

1. **Country or region**: the country where your business is registered, for example Indonesia
2. **Business phone number**, then upload your business license document as a JPG or PNG
3. **Legal business name**
4. **Business license ID**, matching the document

💡 In Indonesia, a limited liability company (PT) only needs its business identification number (NIB) document. Other accepted documents are listed in the [Overview](/tiktok/overview).

{% hint style="info" %}
Verification is handled directly by TikTok, so you need to wait for their approval. [Learn more here.](https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/growing-your-audience/switching-to-a-creator-or-business-account) Once approved, open **Account Connection** in dibales.ai again and click **Refresh**.
